Meton, who came from the future, didn't think there was anything wrong with advertising. There was nothing to be embarrassed about.
He walked in the motorcade calmly and observed Chang 'an City. In fact, the current Chang' an City was not much better than the small towns in the future, but its layout and style were special.
In the motorcade, the other people of the Mo's Village gradually relaxed. They were not so nervous. The gongs and drums were beaten louder and the silk banners were held higher.
Soon, the news about the unique skill of the Mo's spread all over Chang 'an City.
The motorcade of the Mo's Village went around the whole south of the city and then returned to the fish market.
"Young master! Here is our shop! "
Uncle Fu said.
Meton raised his head and was speechless for a long time. This was a shop with three storefronts. The shop was big, but it was too shabby.
"Salted Fish Shop!" Meton was speechless. Was there any name worse than this in the world?
"Take down this door plate right now! Find a paperhanger and change it into a fresh fish shop! "Meton pointed at the door plate and said.
"Yes, young master!" Uncle Fu answered. He immediately asked two young men to take down the door plate and left in a hurry.
"All the motorcade don't enter the shop. Today we will sell fish at the door." Meton commanded. It was almost noon, the time to make lunch and the best time to sell fish.
"Yes, young master!" Uncle Yu answered. Under his command, a huge wooden basin was pulled out of the shop and placed behind the waterwheel. Then the back door of the waterwheel was opened suddenly.
"Clatter!" A large number of fishes mixed with water gushed out from the water outlet, all of them entering the wooden basin. A strong fishy smell assaulted their nostrils.
"Live fish, it's really live fish!" The people of the Mo's Village had been advertising all the way, so there were many onlookers. When they saw all the fish in the wooden basin were live fish, they couldn't help but exclaim.
"The Mo's Village didn't lie. Even if we don't count the distance between the Mo's Village and Chang 'an, at least half of these fish must have died in the waterwheel." A fisherman in the crowd said in surprise.
"Everyone, please take a look. Mo Family's live fish, it's absolutely true." The master fisherman shouted loudly, "All live fish are sold at the market price of 20 yuan per catty."
The price of fish in the Tang dynasty was about eight copper coins per catty, while the price of live fish was more than three times of that. Therefore, it was quite reasonable to sell it at 20 copper coins per catty in the Mo Family Village.
"Alright, give me one!"
"Give me two.
What's more, the fish transported from the Mo's Village were all of high quality and in good condition. Coupled with the publicity, the whole cart of fish was soon sold out.
Soon, the second cart of fish was pulled up and sold out.
The third bus, the fourth bus
…
By noon, all fourteen carts of fish had been sold out. The remaining carts of fish had already been given to Li Yi to Mo Lie's father's former comrade.
These years, when the Mo Family's Village was in a tight financial situation, they had been helped by these brothers, who gave them the best fish they had caught in the past three days.
"I'm sorry, everyone. The fish have been sold out. But please rest assured. From now on, the Mo's Village will deliver a large amount of live fish every morning." The master fisherman promised loudly.
Those who didn't buy any fish left resentfully this time. They secretly decided that they must come early next time.
The eyes of the surrounding shops were all green with envy. They had never seen such a booming business after so many years of business. If it was like this every day, how could they survive?
However, although the business of the Mo's Village was booming, it didn't affect their business. After all, the price of the Mo's Village was very high. Those who didn't want to pay a high price for live fish naturally went to buy their dead fish.
"Bang!"
The door of the salted fish shop, no, the fresh fish shop was slammed shut. More than a hundred people of the Mo's Village all stared at the money box in the master fisherman's hand with green eyes.
The master fisherman was also very excited and his hands and feet were trembling. He had seen money before, but he had never sold so much money. Feeling the heavy money box in his hand, the master fisherman suddenly poured the money box on the table in the middle of the room.
"Hua La La!" The bright yellow copper coins mixed with some broken silver stung everyone's eyes.
"The Mo's Village is saved!" Li Yi's face was full of tears as he shouted with all his strength.
"Yeah!" More than a hundred people of the Mo's Village shouted together. Many of them cried bitterly. The Mo's Village had been poor for too long. Now they finally saw hope.
"Why are you crying? What is this little money? This is just the beginning. In the future, we can earn this much money every day. Every one of you will be able to get married and live in a big house. " Meton scolded with a smile. His heart ached. The Mo's Village was poor, but they didn't deprive him of any food and clothes. They didn't let him suffer any grievances. How could he not be moved?
"Young master is awesome!"
More than a hundred young men of the Mo's Village surrounded Meton and shouted in unison. Meton laughed and played with them.
"Young master, it's done. Together with these broken silver coins, it's 35 strings of cash and 671 coins in total." Uncle Yu let out a long breath and interrupted Meton and others' playfulness.
"So much?" Meton was shocked.
A string of cash was equal to 1000 coins. 35 strings of cash was equal to 35,000 coins. If they knew that the manpower and material resources of the Mo's Village were free, how much food could they buy with 35,000 coins? And this was only for today. What about in the future?
Thinking about the bright future that the young master had promised, it seemed that it was not impossible to realize.
"From now on, each person who participates in fishing and selling fish will get 30 coins a day. The rest of the money will be used to buy food and bring back to the Mo's Village." Meton said loudly.
"Young master! Isn't this too much? "Li Yi hurriedly stopped him. He was the most prestigious person in the Mo's Village, and only he could be the bad guy.
"Yes, it's too much. We can't afford it!" The young men of the Mo's Village also shook their heads.
30 coins a day meant 900 coins for 30 days a month. They used to work for others and worked themselves to death every day. If they met a good family, they would be lucky to get 10 coins a day. If they met a poor family, they would just work for free. They never dared to imagine that they could get close to their usual income in a month.
"You're all useless. This money is nothing. Just take it. It's what you should do! "Meton scolded them with a smile.
"What …?" The young men of the Mo's Village were in a dilemma, but there was a desire in their eyes.
"Alright, take what Young Master gave you!" Li Yi made the final decision.
"Great!" The young men of the Fresh Fish Shop were jubilant.
